Features

      I personally think that these Kingwin enclosures are some of the best looking enclosures to ever hit the market. Sure they are basically functional USB 2.0 interface devices, but for now lets dive into the pictures.

A simple box with the usual Asian style cartoon like character, balloon letters, odd colors, and 60's lime. :)

     Kingwin sup-plies everything you need including the cables and power supply. Windows 98 USB 2.0 drivers are also including for that friendly DOS environment.

     Although not as sturdy as some of the others out there, once its assembled the Kingwin enclosure is drop friendly since it relies on each piece to keep it together.

The side is kept together by some fairly flexible plastic, but once the top is on they slide into place quite nicely.

     The top of the Kingwin has some functional LED's that tell you about access and cooling. The Kingwin has a small 40mm fan to keep your drive cool, and features a LED in case the fan fails. During normal operation the fan runs all the time and is not audible, hence the LED fail function. A nice touch I think.

     Moving onto the bottom of the enclosure there are a couple screw holes where you can use the included hardware to mount your drive to the chassis. The fan vent which faces downward is more than likely why the fan in not audible. Rubber mounts keep it from scratching a surface and provide the grip for placement or stacking
